Sewer Tile Aquarium Castle Folk Art Stoneware Sewer Pipe Fish House! Here are two questions for you. When and why did Sewer Tile Clay Factories start making fish castle decorations to be submerged into aquariums? One source indicates they may have started in the 1800s (?) but that seems wrong to me. The small, hobbyist aquarium did became popular around 1850, but Adamson omits any examples in his book. I believe they are still being made (though not like the primitive, rudimentary pieces one might find.)
